Just like Tom Brady , people act like watching highlight tapes they know what’s going on vs me that watched hours of film study on Mac jones 

I don't think you're capable of getting this, or too committed to the troll, but the idea of comparing Mac Jones to Tom Brady is insane at best, and downright idiotic if nothing else. 

Tom Brady was a literal needle in a haystack find, who turned into the GOAT. Literally, no other example even makes sense.  Compare a young college basketball player to Michael Jordan?  Idiotic.  But even with that, Jordan was at least a top prospect. Comparing ANYONE to Brady, where he was drafted, his scouting report, etc. is just stupid.  If anything, you comparing Mac Jones to Brady the prospect means he should be a...6th rounder?  Shows he doesn't have the tools to be considered a top draft pick?  Again, the endgame here is either you can't count to potato, or you're trolling.

If we see a top QB at #8 we will take it . If there is no top QB at # 8 we trade down a few spots for more picks and still get Mac Jones a little later .  Not playing Jones in the senior bowl maybe because he was dinged up gives us an edge because Rhule watched him in practice and met him up close . If we pick him it will be because Rhule believes in him .

Ooooooor...... Maybe Carolina purposely held him out because of that reason alone... They want him... 

 

 

Please don't take me serious

Rhule and company had a week to get to know whatever they wanted to about Jones. They publicly raved about him, though that doesn't necessarily mean they'd draft him at number eight.

The feeling it gives me though is that if they do (or don't) I'm probably gonna trust that decision.

I'm beginning to think that if Rhule raves about a player it means absolutely nothing in getting a sense of his direction.  It's a good strategy to be honest because it throws off the competition to your thinking.

Yeah every time he has something good about someone they were cut lol, so that’s good news for Jones.

Just throwing it out there.  You have to take that praise with a grain of salt.  It's good for the players egos but it means nothing about what he really has planned.

So because someone disagrees with your assessment they're trolling?

I absolutely get Tom Brady vibes from Jones. He'll never reach those levels, but there are comparisons to be made. 

The most amusing thing is people overlooking his ridiculous stats / success because it doesn't fit into their narrative. If he was an uber athlete with a huge arm they'd be falling over themselves to crown him.

I'm aware that a lot of the NFL Draft is about projection. But that's also how you pick guys like Bortles, Ponder et al and overlook Wilson, Brees, Brady etc. 

When it all plays out I wouldn't be surprised if he goes in the first round.

It’s a bunch of things he’s said together. Like calling Watson average and telling us Jones will be better for sure. .

    • I dont think you can fire him either but I do wonder what tepper would do if we dont crack 5 wins.   On the flip side we cannot let Dave pick a qb in the draft if his seat is hot.  Its a conundrum for sure.  One of Teppers makings.
    • Hate to say it but we can't fire DC right now. He was basically forced to work with BY as part of his conditions for being hired and hasn't really had the opportunity to get a QB of his own. That's not a good look when you're interviewing new candidates. A coach has to be given the chance to do his job with players that fit what he does and DC hasn't been given that chance. Fire him and you're putting another box on the list to keep coaches from coming here. Plus, Morgan needs to be given another year as well so he can either show he's can have a successful draft or he's a bust as well so the whole damn show can be flipped and started over with a president of football operations and build from there. No more hold overs. Empty the damn building and start with a brand new staff. 
    • It's both column A and column B. Bryce ain't going to make it as an NFL starting QB. At least not here and probably not ever, the physical limitations just can't seem to be overcome consistently. And that's a shame because, well, he's a good kid and I wish it had worked out for him and us. But also, this ain't working out here as a team. We're poorly built from bottom to top. There's no consistency in coaching, there's no team identity, there's no grit, no depth and seemingly little plan or resistance to market influences that get us to buy high and sell low. We have a few guys we call star players that would, well, be starters on other teams, and a crap ton of starters that would be back-ups, bench sitters or free agents outside of this organization. No QB is going to come here and have much success. Much like Rodgers with the Jets, we just don't have fug all for a team. The QB, no matter the pedigree, can't pull us out of the mudhole we have created for ourselves as we've wallowed over the last seven years. No matter how high we draft a QB here, we'd just be planting a seed on rocky soil. It wouldn't survive. Look at Mac Jones and how he has played over three games in San Fran. He was supposed to be a total career washout, another 'Bama Bust. Guy looks like he can handle the game, because he has a well coached, professional team around him. One that has a lot of injured stars, but still fights to win. And you can look at Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold, two guys who washed up on our deserted desert island and floundered mightily here. But man, put them on solid teams and they both are living up  to their original draft status. To be perfectly honest, this poo won't change until we, as an organization, change down deep. There has to be a total sea change here. We can't make the owners go away, but we can pressure for them to blow this thing completely up and hire in a handful of consultants, perhaps retired GMs and HCs with winning programs in the N-fuging-FL. Then remake it all. Management, coaching, team, trainers, scouts, even equipment folks. Sorry, I'm tired of this pile of horseshit we call a team. It has just eaten alive the careers of many young athletes and all of us fans since the change in ownership.
